    Scrapping the set is already a slated change for the next patch so uh, yes we can. (I’d prefer to try LO first but people like webs)

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    OTOH I am gonna theorise which ones could be, because it's an interesting enough exercise :P One that quickly stands out to me, and only because Psychic-Type is already super-effective on Poison-Type, is the Psychic- and Poison-Type. That one has never made all that much sense, and Poison-Type...

    Project Randbats Spotlight Cycle 12 - Votes are open!!!

    Eh maybe. (no one cares, but my feeling is Chimera is actively unfun, and it’d probably be the first spotlight tour so far I wouldn’t play. But there’s a significant playerbase so if they win the poll they earn it).

    Project Randbats Spotlight Cycle 12 - Votes are open!!!

    The randbats community lived in peace and harmony, once. This was before the great Chimera War of 2024, where two distinct factions emerged…

    I think the main issue with both Mega and Gmax designs is that the design team was probably commanded to give those forms to certain Pokémon even though they didn’t have creativity for it. I always think about how Flygon was supposed to get a Mega but they couldn’t think of a good design for it...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I'd argue differently to this. The optimal way to execute the Ponyta-Galar concept is to simply... not have it evolve. If we're being honest, Ponyta-Galar is a design that above all else appeals to the young girls demographic of Pokémon players. Ponyta-Galar is, in fact, one of my 4 year old...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    The Veluza use Fillet Away before chasing the player, probably. Of course that’s not backed up mechanically, since the Veluza aren’t at half health when they encounter you… but also, it would be really cool if they were, and I still imagine this is the idea behind their overworld behaviour...

    Levitate is usually the only ability a Levitate Pokémon gets, so I suspect it has to do with that. Maybe some AI testing with Weezing should be done, play the same fight with a Weezing of each ability and see if it still recognises Levitate despite their being a chance of it being Neutralising...

    Invalid Reclaiming the Lost Game Triple Battle

    Triple Battle was on Showdown! for a long time (right into Gen 6 if not Gen 7, and it was first included when the format itself was in the games back in Gen 5). No one played it, so it eventually got inactivity purged. There’s no reason to think that would be different now. Also this subforum...

    [Semi-OC] Big City Mafia 2 - Signups

    All the GMT+-X timezones have their own regional names (GMT itself is a regional name, we're meant to use UTC now). EDT is one of them, I assume it's -6 because it's eastern daylight time I'd guess, but yeah it is good practice to say EDT (GMT-X)

    Media What is the best game, uncontested, youd die on that hill proudly

    You definitely didn't read my post closely, but anyway. Minecraft is a great exploration game, and a good visual/aesthetic building game. It's a pretty bad survival, combat, horror, or stealth game, so they don't really support your argument. Just having a trait of a genre doesn't make it a...

    Media What is the best game, uncontested, youd die on that hill proudly

    I don’t like Minecraft. Never have. Describing Minecraft as some kind of enigmatic genreless game just isn’t accurate. It’s a sandbox, and sandbox is a genre, and it’s a genre that doesn’t appeal to everyone. Yes you can build a wide variety of different experiences in Minecraft, but when you...

    Pending Sort Battles Lookup Tab by ELO

    I want to add my support for at least having the option for this for a different reason. I use the watch battle feature on ladders where I’m toward the top sometimes, in order to work out whether it’s a good idea to play that ladder right now or whether I should check in again later. Usually...

    Format Discussion Scarlet/Violet Random Battle Sets

    Palafin is on the enforced STAB list because it's slower than most Pokémon in rands (its real speed at its current level is 199 which seems high, but this gen has really high speed stats across the board). This means that it will always get Jet Punch and then Wave Crash is only a potential...

    Improving the Circus Maximus Queue

    I've spoken to both a fairy and Tommy about this in DMs already lol, but I for sure think we should be alternating NOC and OC. I actually think the game queue is otherwise fine. Splitting off NOC and OC completely is not a sensible idea. OC and NOC are both games that eventually result in...

    Let's Play! Pokémon XD Nuzlocke (See Post #10)

    Chapter 3: Finishing ONBS I wanted to do another chapter yesterday but the whole not saving the game thing put a stop to that. The itch wasn't scratched, so we're starting out this episode with our next battle. :tymp: The creamer leads off with a Sneasel and a Yanma. I lead with my two new...
